On 8 March 1845, Bullock reached page 912 in volume C-1 of JS’s manuscript history. Thereafter, Bullock adopted the practice of leaving pages blank where he intended to return at a later date to inscribe source documents. Bullock likely copied the authorization on pages 935–936 sometime between late March and 3 July 1845, during which time he regularly noted filling in blank pages from JS Letterbook 2 and other sources. (Richards, Journal, 8, 15 Mar. 1845; Historian’s Office, Journal, 27, 31 Mar. 1845; 3–5, 18–19, 22, 24–25 Apr. 1845; 2–3, 6 May 1845; 3 July 1845.)
